You'll have to take 223 this time.

Also, take a shot every time Sirius's accent grates on your nerves. This is variable, and won't go in the official "Death By Booze" counter.

Anyway, Kiritsugu is in London, home of the Clocktower, Sakura lovers, and SEVEN BONG. He bitches a bit about the city and its layout, how its great for assassins, etc etc. Anyway, we finally get to the point, as he knocks on the door of a character that I must admit, I somewhat like, well, at least concept wise. Lets see how he's introduced, shall we?

"Ya look like yer aboot ta keel over lad. It's been whut… 15 years since ya left with me work? Not a damned word from ya until 3 years ago when ya wanted info for tat blasted war in Japan, 'nd then when I thougt ya were dead, ya show up at me door with moor work?" He crossed his arms defiantly. "Ya better have a good tale for me and me kin ta make up for dis…"

Ladies and Gentlemen, Sirius McGinty, Mystic Code maker. I know several of you have taken shots already. Apparently, this is the guy who made the Origin Bullets and the Contender. Which I had always thought were Natalia's doing. I'm pretty sure in canon, they are. And the Contender isn't a Code. The bullets are. Correct me if I'm wrong on this one.

Oh, and he's also friends with Zelretch. I'll let that sink in for a moment.

So anyway, they talk a bit, and break out the booze. I advise everyone reading the fic to do the same.

Scene break.

And enter Waver! Yeah. He's in this. I can't wait to see how his character is fucked up! So anyway, he bumps into Irish McIrishman (Did I mention he's Irish?) who slips him a note. It says Gilgamesh is still alive, and a meeting place in three days.

Scene break.

So Kiritsugu and Sirus and Waver shoot the shit around, Kiritsugu fills them in about the information he got from his Magic Moonbeams (TM). Including the RM.

Also to his credit, Sirius asks a simple question - Why don't we just sic the Enforcers and Burial Agency on Gilgamesh? I mean, really, if anyone could kill Gilgamesh, it would be the Church, what with Black Barrel and all their other tools of destruction. Admittedly, Fuyuki would be blown to shit, but still.

And since Sirius is BFF's with Zel, why not just ask him to send the King of Heroes into another dimension? Boom. Problem solved. Of course, no one thinks of this, and instead trust a teenager with killing him in the future. OUR HEROES LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!

Also. Kiritsugu gave two members of the Association information about someone with a Reality Marble. Who is his adopted son. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? Even if he stayed a Freelancer, if that leaked, he'd immediately be hunted down by the Enforcers, and dissected. You do not let something like that slide.

And then Kiritsugu does a sob story to the pair of them. And this somehow makes that issue (And the fact that they have no idea if he's talking out his ass here about nearly everything) go away.

To compound my anger, Sirius swears by the root.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR RG

OVERALL OPINIONS: What good will I brought in from chapter two just completely flew out the window. The blatant handwaving of the RM infuriated me to no end. And Sirius's accent didn't help either. Overall: Meh. While more rageworthy most of my complaints wouldn't make me drop a fic. I'm not THAT much of a purist when it comes to fanfiction. Would this chapter make me want to drop this? No. Would it make me start to question what the fuck the author is on? Yes.

Devils Advocate: The grammar is somewhat better, despite the insult to the English language that occurs whenever Sirius opens his mouth.

Hop on the Hate Train next time folks!
